If the cheato is getting into a different chamber then you should put some egg crate or something to prevent it from doing so. Right now your setup can be switched either way around.

RowaPhos was developed in Germany for treating main water supplies. RowaPhos is a patented, man made ferric hydroxide material chemically engineered for the efficient removal of phosphates, arsenic and silicates from fresh and saltwater.
100 g/100 mL RowaPhos will remove 3ppm of phosphate from 100 US gallons of saltwater.
